Questions regarding proper lubrication of 1978 Johnson 25 HP 2 stroke outboard

[9.9HPand25HP]

Can anyone confirm that Johnson/Evinrude oils have now become XPS Marine oils? Also, what anti-corrosion grease are Johnson Outboard owners using now? I have a 1978 25 HP, and it seems the old Johnson products shown in the repair manual are obsolete?

Yes You can use the XPS oil XD30 will work in that engine. You can use Evinrude Triple Guard grease or any good marine grease.

Thank you for your response. Is the XPS oil the official Johnson/Evinrude or BRP replacement brand?

It's the official oil.
